Description

Marine Deck Protect

HydroFlex Marine Deck Protect (Wood Protect) protects woods – especially hardwoods – against water saturation, swelling and rotting. Its breathing and practically invisible coating allows water and oils to simply pearl-off taking dust and dirt away. Dirt and stains simply cannot penetrate the wood and therefore there is no marking or flecking. Even in extreme cases of exposure to rain or condensation, the wood fibres do not absorb moisture. Any droplets or surface dampness can be easily wiped off or just allowed to evaporate. This means that drying time is drastically reduced and with no moisture in the pores of the wood, damage from frost prevented. The product is ideal for all types of wood including pressure impregnated structural timber as well as new and absorbent timber previously treated with Hydroflex Marine Deck Restore. It is able to be used both for indoor and outdoor purposes.

Marine Deck Protect uses Fluorosilanes and no Fluorocarbons or silicones. This results in longer durability. Silanes bond to the fibres of the wood and do not build a layer. The bonding protects the fibres from the inside. The result is hydrophobic and oleophobic protection that lasts much longer. It is important to note that because Marine Deck Protect is also oleophobic the wood gets much less dirty as environmental soiling tends to be oily and therefore will not absorb into the fibres of the wood.

Competitive products tend to be based on Fluorocarbons that lay on the surface and when weathered or walked on several times they disappear. These tend also to be only hydrophobic.
